Week 18 IDP Free Agent Focus
Chris Jones, DT, Chiefs
After totaling just half a sack over his past 3 outings, Jones got to Joe Burrow for a pair of sacks among 3 total QB hits in Sunday’s loss to the Bengals. He’ll close out the regular season with a Denver offense that has spent the year atop the league in allowing pressure. Jones went quiet statistically in the 1st meeting with Denver, coming off his season-best game against the Cowboys. But he did deflect a pair of passes and notch a QB hit in that contest. He’ll carry upside into the rematch.
Troy Reeder, LB, Rams
Reeder continued his boosted playing time in Sunday’s win over the Ravens – with Ernest Jones on IR – delivering 10 tackles and a sack. He should be in for the same role in the regular-season finale against San Francisco.
Logan Wilson, LB, Bengals
Wilson returned from his shoulder injury to start Sunday’s win over the Chiefs. His 8 tackles (5 solo) didn’t make for a huge stat day, but that was good enough for 2nd on the team. Next comes a rematch with the Browns. The 1st turn didn’t prove fruitful for Cincinnati’s MLB, but the Browns hit Week 17 supplying the 3rd most fantasy points to LBs.
Roderic Teamer, S, Raiders
The Raiders started Dallin Leavitt in the 1st game after losing Johnathan Abram for the season and continued to list him ahead of Roderic Teamer on the “unofficial” depth chart this week after Teamer returned from the COVID list. But Teamer got the start in Sunday’s win over the Colts and tied for 2nd on the team with 8 tackles (7 solo). He figures to keep the gig for a Week 18 matchup with the Chargers, who entered Sunday supplying the 3rd most fantasy points to DBs.
